Lots of love

AR baby wouldnt behave for nuchal scan, and rather than paying 300 quid for a private one we decided to wait til 16 week quad blood tests which is standard, which is what we did with DS, and were low risk with him. I wanted to spend the money having a 4D scan later on during pg if we got that far, we didnt with DS and bitterly regretted it. Wobblings normal, the only way i managed to get through it was because i had been given a new job for 3 months as PM to the integration of our biggest ever client... which has now spilt over into my FT job... kept me sane, a little stressed but kept my mind busy!

yey for the hoose MP Grin fab news, love it when a plan all comes together

Last night i did have a bit of a meltdown, but i think it was needed. DH just didnt understand at all, and kept saying 'its bad for baby!' [helpful!]
did me good to get it out my system and i feel much better for it now. :)

Extra special squishes for all those with a DD coming up... you know who you are xxx

Wombat33 · 01/03/2011 10:45

Morning all! Hugus for those who are wibbling today xxx

Also just to say I'm thinking of you this morning Teacake. I hope the EPU are being sensitive to you and that the results are better than you expected.

Yey for the house mamap!! Grin We're looking for one too. Didn't want to get ahead of ourselves by rushing into buying too early before we knew all okay with this pg. But now I'm beginning to think that if the blood results from the nuchal come back okay we're going to have to get our skates on a bit if we want to be in and settled before Sept! Oh I'm scared that I'm allowing mysellf to start to get excited. Still bleeding too, but am beginning to think that might be a permanet state of affairs during this pg. Consultant said as much yesterday.

Quick update to the list as my dates are a bit out.

mamap i lived in leggings til 12 weeks. Am still living in leggings now!! Anything else is just not comfy at all, i think bean is very low in my uterus and anything that cuts across hurts... even the over bump stuff!

Looking at the list - gosh... romping away now.
Not long til 12 weeks daisy!
pink 10 weeks - fab!

Really had better go and do some work!

Digitalgirl 7+3 next scan 11/03/11

Not putting my edd down because I'm not sure what it is yet, but sometime mid-October (or September if it's early like ds was).

Had a strange night. Woke up about 3am to an aching throb on the right a bit near my ovary. Wasn't awful, but found it hard to get back to sleep from mind going into paranoid overdrive.

teacake thinking of you this morning

Afternoon! Been in bed with migraine like headache which has luckily nearly gone with a bit more sleep and some paracetamol. Didn't want to risk my usual migraine tablets! And can't stay long as have to finish of baking cakes :)

Teacakes keep being strong. You can do it!

Digi hope the pain and paranoia has gone and you're not so worried.

Look at us scaredy cats at the bottom not sorting out our scan dates. Feeling OCD too MummyA Heron your EDD and weeks aren't matching - any chance you are over the magic 6w mark - I would so love to move up a week!!! Love the name btw herons are even luckier than squirrels in my crazy little world! Grin

KnitterNotTwitter · 01/03/2011 13:51

Meant to tell you all a funny story.... On Friday when I dropped my DS off at her house I told my mum that I was 6 weeks. She's thrilled and keeping her fingers crossed. I told her to tell my Dad. That evening I phoned to see how my DS was getting on and my Dad answered the phone. After a couple of minutes chat you could hear my mum in the background reminding him to say congratulations to me. Dad turned to her and said 'but I thought it was a secret and I wasn't to talk to anyone about it?' :)

Bless him...

We've told him that it's ok to talk to me, DH, my MIL and my DSis about the pregnancy :)

Still makes me chuckle

KnitterNotTwitter · 01/03/2011 14:16

Irene looking at your stats... if the DD is correct you're 6+2 today.... or if the weeks + days is correct then your DD is 28/10....?!?

IreneHeron · 01/03/2011 14:17

A&R yes, I think I miscounted. I'm 5+1 and EDD of around 22nd according to Mumsnet tool. Although the midwife when I rang calculated 26th Oct. I don't care really, I'm just taking it day to day.

Knitter Grin at your story.

IreneHeron · 01/03/2011 14:19

Funny due date perhaps because of short cycle length, 26 days? 1st day of last MP 17th Jan.

MummyAbroad · 01/03/2011 14:35

I wonder what order we would be in if we put ourselves in order of how many pee sticks we weed on ?GrinGrinGrin

Thanks all for the good wishes for the house purchase, some might say I am pushing my luck with a new house, new business and a new baby but actually there is so much going on I don't have time to get stressed about one single thing!

Mummy I reckon Dachs might win a pee stick competition... how many was it again dachs??? Grin

Grin at knitters Dad, that's a great story

hotnspicy hope you're feeling better

teacake we will all be virtually holding your hand and hoping for the best on Friday (((hugs)))

digi I had something similar and it def wasn't a cramp, I ran it passed the doc last week and she said those odd pains are quite normal as the uterus adapts Smile

wombat good luck with the house hunt... I must confess that I did look at the third bedroom with a ''this will be my beans nursery'' head on!!

nix my dh does that every now and then... ''it's bad for baby'' my reply, ''it'll be bad for you if you don't back off'' Grin

AR 12 week scan tbc but approx 3 weeks - OMG! PMSL at your image of my buttons flying open... it's not that far removed from reality! eeek! How are you getting on?

orange sorry you had a monumental melt down, I hope it was actually cathartic and you are feeling better now Smile

mummy how are you?

owl how was zummerzet?

Everyone else, big waves Grin

And for those who wanted it... virgin Mojito :

crushed ice
1 lime quartered squeeze out juice and throw in quarters
Plenty of mint leaves (I always crush them to release the flavour and then a few nice leaves on top to make it look pretty)
sugar Syrup (boil up brown sugar, honey and water and then let cool and keep refrigerated)
top up with soda water
Shake up and serve in a large glass!

YUM YUM - happy cocktail hour Grin Grin

IreneHeron · 01/03/2011 15:42

Knitter - I'm a garden designer and gardener, so stands to reason I'd be interested in sheds. Grin.

By the way, I'm lower on the list than you, 2 cheapy internet dip in your wee ones and one POAS First Response.

IreneHeron · 01/03/2011 15:45

Mama, I hear you re: new house, baby, business. That's what I'm doing. Alright so we moved in October but we're still setting up a business/businesses in a new area the other end of the country and hopefully having another baby.

Good recipe by the way, might be making that.

DoubleDiffedDachs · 01/03/2011 15:56

congrats on house mamap

I only used about... umm... 50? Actually must have been less than that. Erm... Probably somewhere between 30 - 40

My new addiction is scans... Unfortunately I don't have the time or money to clock up quite as many as pee sticks. 5 so far... But partly that was because of the bleeding I've had so far rather than me being obsessive about scans. pink has had a lot too, I think?

Wombat33 · 01/03/2011 16:27

Dachs you are a girl after my own heart Smile I think you've pipped me on the pg tests but I've also had 5 scans so far (with another 3 or 4 already booked in!). Next one is a whole three weeks away though - about the longest I've gone so far without one - so who knows how I'm going to last the wait Wink

Day 1 post nuchal bloods and no call from the hospital so far today. I'm hoping that if I get to Friday without a call that means I'm going to get a letter saying I'm low risk [wibble].
